Color Your Cat Paw Drawing
Outline your cartoon cat paw to complete the drawing. Erase the extra pencil lines before you color your cat paw.
You can color the outline with any color that you want, but this guide recommends using muted brown to keep it realistic.
Use darker shades for the shadows and lighter shades for the highlights. Keep the claws white, then use pink for the toe pads.
Learn More About The Cat Paw Drawing
Learning how to draw a cat paw is an important part of being an artist. As you learn about anatomy, you'll find it easier to tackle more complex drawings, like a sitting cat.
You'll also learn to draw your own characters without a guide.
In the meantime, sharpen your skills by sketching a cartoon cat paw with claws and toe pads. Many people call toe pads "toe beans" because they look like small beans.
Scroll down for a downloadable PDF of this tutorial.
Some cats hiss at you if you touch their toe pads, but others don't mind.
If you have a cat, you can color the outline the same color as your cat's fur. Otherwise, think about a friend's cat or a cat that you want to have. You can touch these cartoon toe beans--the cat won't mind.
Draw the outline with a pencil so you can erase any mistakes.
Don't worry about making everything perfect the first time--even professional artists make mistakes and have to erase their drawings. If anything, mistakes can give a drawing character and personality.
When you're done, hang up this cartoon in your room or keep it in your sketchbook. If you don't have a cat, try using this drawing to convince your parents to buy one.
